About the Winner

People have to wear rubber gloves in various professions. But one thing's for sure - all of them wear those gloves to avoid the grunge that sticks to them. Kevin Cattenhead came up with a de-gloving device that helps you avoid contact with the grunge you may have accumulated at the hospital, convalescent home, Tattoo parlor, school blood bank, dentist office, or elsewhere. The invention is called the Latex Examination Glove Removal Device. It removes the latex gloves from your hand without you having to touch them, and the contaminated gloves and drop into a plastic bag-lined container. It can be mounted on virtually any wall, and the size is about 19 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and 11 inches from front to back. The cool thing is that Cattenhead makes the device in blue, red, yellow, white, and gray colors to hip up the wall where you locate the device.
